PAGE ONE. The Indiana Boys' School Herald. VOLUME 35, NUMBER 18. PLAINFIELD, INDIANA. SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1936. 52 issues for one dollar and a half. SIDELINES. By Paul Bergevis. BUILDING BACKWARDS. With billions of people inhabiting the earth it is possible that there exists nearly as many private opinions on every conceivable subject. Everyone has an occasion to express some observation about some particular happening that he may approve or disapprove of in some particular detail or in general. Not a thing takes place that exactly satisfies everyone. Some people will find something in anything that is good, others will find things bad. And there will be a million milder interpretations in between good and bad that range from high praise to scouraging condemnation. All these interpretations may be in respect to one particular happening whether it be a way, social event, general scandal or a church service. The outlook is rather hazy if one thinks of individuals constantly misunderstanding or misinterpretating or differing in their opinions about everthing that exists. That people do agree in general matters to a certain degree is evident by existence of either wholly or partially organized governments in the countries of the world. Of course that may not be an indication that people do agree in any sense. It may reveal the controlling of the many by a few. And too there are many who refrain from either agreeing or disagreeing because of indifference or ignorance. But even this group undoubtedly has opinions of their own which differ materially from their fellow men's. It is nothing short of remarkable how few people can agree on any issue, be it literary, political or scientific. Many will outwardly acknowledge a certain procedure as satisfactory, but secretly condemn it. They feel it mould be advisable to support something in which they disbelieve for personal purposes. In reality few people believe implicitly what they support. They are content to believe the leader rather than spend the effort necessary for personal investigation. And when we realize that if everyone did conscientiously support an idea of their own, there would be around three billion ideas running wild we begin to stagger under the weight of such a tremendous figure without stopping to consider if a couple of the several billion might can food for thought. Anarchy is considered a system of government, or a complete lack of government, where everyone rules himself, where there is no interference from the law unless you interfere with yourself because you are the law. The seemingly underlying principle of this lack of control is that people are capable of taking care of themselves without the aid of a guardian in the form of rulers. Certainly the millions of individual opinions could run rampant under a system wherein regulation of all and and any kind was absent. Everybody is supposed to work out his own destiny, and is apparently supposed to be capable of doing it by himself. The past history of humanity positively disproves this idea, but the anacharist will reply that their idea will work, but humans in the past have never had a chance to show how they could express themselves unshackled of the irons of oppression, etc, etc. One can scarcely help praising a person who has such splendid faith in humanity, but records are besmirched with the blood of countless people who seemed to think that legalized murder, more commonly called war, was an expresaion of individualism. People must be controlled by something. Permitting them to run wild with an idea some orator put over is dangerous. Good goverment can give people a maximum of self-expression with a minimum of repression. But even governments have and will continue to abuse their power to excite people into war. The governments are responsible since "public opinion" (whatever that is) is not a reliable borometer of genuine public feelings on all occasions. Since an indifferent government is usually indirectly responsible for creating "public opinion." ONE ON MR. GLEN. Mr. Stanley: (In doubt as to whether the Band would defeat Cannelton or not in the State Band contest) "I'd be satisfied with second place." Mr. Glen: "You're not weakening on our band are you?" Mr. Scales: "Woe be unto ye of little faith." Mr. Glen: "Mr. Scales, where do you find that in the Bible?" Mr. Scales: "One of the verses in II Corinthians." Mr. Glen: (Fifteen Minutes later entering Mr. Scales room) "Blast your hide! That's not II Corinthians." SECTION ONE SEES TALKING PICTURES FRIDAY, APRIL 24. On Friday, April 24, Section One was entertained by several educational pictures presented by the Edison Audoradiograph Corp. This machine, which is a projector that is syncronized with a record, gives the same effect as the high priced talking picture machine that cost hundreds of dollars. This machine sells for only $360.00 and can be used in classroom for illustrated lectures and other educational purposes. The first subject shown was volcanoes. This showed the way different stratas of rock were formed by the hot lava, forcing its way to the surface and spreading out. There is only one active volcanoe in North America and that is in the State of Washington. In the Phillipine Islands there are many volcanoes which have destroyed millions of dollars worth of property and taken thousands of lives. In 1921 the Island of Altar, in the Pacific Ocean near China, was almost completely blown to bits by the third of a series of volcanic eruptions which took place at half hour intervals. Before the catastrophe it was almost fifty miles in circumference, but after the explosion, it was only eighteen miles round. The second picture was called the "Brass Choir" and introduced the various brass instruments used in the band and symphony orchestra. The first instrument was the trumpet, which is the soprano of the choir. The four men who played these instruments were professionals and the control of their tone and the tongueing was excellent. The second instrument demonstrated was the trombone, which is the tenor of the choir. The outstanding feature of this was the obligatto parts played the lead instrument and the performance of the man who played the bass trombone. The third instrument shown was the French horn. This is the alto of the choir. These horns have a very rich, mellow tone that is very pleasing to listen to. This tone is produced by stopping up the bell with the hand. The horns were rotary valve instruments and were played with keys instead the regular upright valves used in the common alto horn. The fourth instrument was the huge tuba, the bass of the choir. The man that played this horn did not look as if he would have wind enough to play this instrument, but when he started it took very little effort on his part to reach the low notes in his composition. After these instruments were shown they were put together to form the Brass Choir. They played the Grand March from the opera, "Tannhauser." This march had a spot where each group of instrument had the lead and it finally swept up to a dramatic climax of triple tongueing for the lead trombone and trumpeting for the trumpets. STATE BAND CONTEST HOLDS LOCAL INTEREST. The Charlton High School band is, at this writing, all set for the State band contest at Frankfort. They have shined up the instruments, "overhauled" uniforms and generally prepared to look their "sharpest" before the strangers. Thursday night Frederick Funk and his accompanist, Claude Hess, made the trip for the trombone solos. They then returned, but no shut eye for them. That is, not much. The band boys were roused out of their slumbers (???) at about 4:30 Friday morning no they could get dressed, have their breakfast at the kitchen, and get under way by 6:00 o'clock. They were the second Class C band to appear on the morning's program which started at 8:00 o'clock. After their numbers, they were free until time for the marching contest, at 7:00 P.M. They returned to Frankfort Saturday for the parade or forfeit their awards. The parade was held Saturday afternoon. The trombone quartet had only two competitors between it and the national contest. If they take care of these two their trip to Cleveland is assured. The cornet quartet was classed with the miscellaneous brass ensembles, as there is no cornet quartet at the state. BOY SCOUT WINS $5,000 SCHOLARSHIP FOR ESSAY. Eddie Cantor, the pop-eyed and goodhearted comedian of the stage, screen and radio, wanted to do his bit toward keeping the peace, so he offered a prize scholarship in any American college or university---for the best essay on the subject, "How Can America Stay out of Warr". More than 212,000 essays were entered in the contest. Four college presidents were asked to judge them. They selected Owen W. Matthews, of Portland, Oregon, as the winner after Lloyd Lewis had been disqualified for copying his essay from a magazine. An interesting sidelight on Matthews winning essay was that he based almost all of it on his contacts in the Boy Scout organization --- proving that membership in the Scouts sometimes proves financially good for the members as well as being an ideal way of living. Owen, who was graduated from high school last June, wanted to go to college but could not afford it. He went to work instead. Now he can go to school. In his prize essay, he suggested a way for America to stay out of future wars. LEARNS FROM SCOUTS. I am an Eagle Scout and have been scouting for seven years," he wrote. "The spring of 1933, I heard of the coming Fourth International Scout Jamboree, to be held in Godollo, Hungary. I went to the Jamboree and there found my solution for future world peace. I learned what true brotherly love meant. "All boys at the Jamboree wanted to be friends. By actually living with thirty-thousand foreign scouts for two weeks we learned that they thought and acted just as we did, even though their color and creed might be different. "I am corresponding with eight scouts I met at the Jamboree, who live in the following countries: Esthonia, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Persia, Syria, South Africa, and Australia. We exchanged stamps, songs, literature, and various articles pertaining to our respective countries. After these contacts, how could we ever want to go to war against each other? YOUTH SHOULD MEET. "If the United States Government sent picked groups of youth to these international gatherings, expenses paid, it would open the eyes of youth the world over as to the futility of war. Upon their return to America, they should deliver lectures in schools and to older organizations, telling the thoughts of youth in regard to war with other countries. Peace gatherings and encampments of youth from all countries will do more to further world peace than adult peace conferences held in some castle or other building." PALOOKA EMULATES RIGHTEOUS LIVING. By DeWayne Mathias. Again the boys of this school were very fortunate in getting to hear Rev. Tomlinson speak. It is not known why this popular young pastor of Plainfield stands out so prominently with the boys, only that he seems to be a very popular leader wherever he goes, standing out as an example. One can hardly go into his sermon, pick out the outstanding points, put them in black and white, yet still give the reader a full understanding of what he said, because the minor points is his sermon proved to be Major. For this reason, the following perscription is being more or less his complete sermon. "In my life today there is one man that stands out as an example to be followed. A man that is everywhere, has been everywhere and always will be everywhere. He is liked by all, the rich and poor. For the past few weeks or months we have been following his life as a boy, everyone talked of him as a boy, and by request, he was portrayed a boy. When some people talk of the best person they have ever known, they refer to themselves. But I am not going to do this, for the best person in my mind today, is none other than that comical person created by Bud Fisher, Joe Palooka. My day isn't complete unless I see Palooka, I must see him. Joe and I are well known together. My problems are his problems. He understands me, and I understand him. As you see him in the comics, he doesn't fight, (only when in the ring), he doesn't lose his head, Joe seems to be a joke to everyone, he seems as if he weren't sure of himself, yet be comes out on top, on top with the hearts of his admirers. He is always ready to help anyone, especially small, helpless persons who cannot help or take care of themselves. Every one of these people seem to look up to Joe. Why is he a model to be followed? Just one thing, he charactizes things of respect. Every one else except these people, call him dumb,because he is always getting into trouble for someone else. He gets into some of the queerest jams, yet while others all around him could see his mistake, he goes right ahead acting dumb about it, as if nothing had happened. In the ring, Joe is a hard man to beat, yet he is soft. "There is something real about Joe, he isn't a puff-up as you can readily see in those pictures that place him society. He doesn't know what to do, he wasn't made for those centers. Joe doesn't care, is the answer to that. What does all this suggest to you? To me it doesn't suggest Palooka, or something in the morning papers. It is the right living that is suggested. He lives for just what he is, lives for the truth. What other man is like Joe Palooka? Didn't Jesus tell how to live, in the beginning? Jesus set this rule, followed it and proved it was the way to live. Hs took hold of every thing in his own realm, not trying to over-do that particular rank in life. Jesus lived and walked among people, he was the talk of the people. He had the power to get things, but he didn't (continued on page four). CAMPUS LIGHTS. MUCh to the boys delight there waS no drill Sunday afternoon, because Mr L.C. Stanley, band director was away attending a meeting of directors which was being held at Frankfort, Indiana. ENDURANCE. Beginning Friday evening, April 22, there was what seemed to be an endurance race raging among several companies. Immediately after supper, kites began gaining altitude, and in 30 minute the heavens were literally speckled with these miniature creatures. Several of these kites hovering over-head, when the last company of boys retired. Morning came, and no kites were to be seen. Saturday afternoon, April 23, these brave air minded students put their heads together again, and decided that their ambitions were not to be drifted away with the winds. Boldly and stealthily they took to the sky again, with evening coming altogether too soon. This point of the day found several kites still waging war against the northwest wind. Sunday morning came, and what should such a day bring? Although the sky was dark and cloudy, if one would've looked up, he would have seen a very dim speck in the northwest, One kite was still in the air. What had happened? Someone had broken the endurance record, but who was it? That kite stayed in the air until Sunday afternoon at about 3:30, when some unknown pilot towed his miniature plane in. It was assumed that this kite belonged to some boy in Company Eight or Nine. BASEBALL. Over the week end, Companies Two and Four played a double header in baseball, the former winning both games by overwhelming scores. Saturday afternoon they won the first game 26-6. The batteries were, Parker and Mathias for Two and Collison and Mason for Company Four.
Sunday afternoon they won the second game, 15-0. Cecil Justice pitched a no-hit, no-run game for Company Two. The batteries were, Justice and Parker for Two; Moulesong, Mason, and Taylor for Company Four. Sunday morning after the Chapel services, the Amo mixed Chorus, which sang on the program, made a complete tour of the school, visiting all places open on that day. CONCENTRATION.
Last week Aubrey Utterback and DeWayne Mathias were given Scholarship tests, competing with other Hendricks County High School graduates for the scholarship awards offered by State Colleges. Two tests completed each students test, which was an English and Psychological test. Utterback's test came from Purdue University and Mathias' came from Indiana State Teachers College at Terre Haute. Miss Virginia Bronnenkant visited her parents of Terre Haute over the weekend. She returned Sunday morning with her sister, Frances, who was her guest until Monday afternoon. Mrs. B. Smoker, special edication teacher of Charlton High School, returned to work after having been absent a week, due to a slight accident. Mrs Hunt had been filling her vacancy. "AFFIANCE."
Who's the gay young troubadore, always dressed in brown, escorting the fair damsel in the blue and the gray?? Saturday morning the school was visited by Mr. H. A. Klein and quite a few Butler University students and Indianapolis residents. Mr. Klein is the former director of education of this school, being succeeded by our present director, Mr. C. Abbott. For the past week or so the different classes of Charlton have been practicing on their various phases of entertainment which they are going to present on class night, May 25. FINANCE. Three more strange cars have joined the parking lot in the last week. The first one, a 36 Plymouth, was purchased by M. Frank Bauers, gardener of the school. The second one belongs to Captain Glascock, a 32 Plymouth sedan, that looks as if it still had the pep of a lion. The third one a chevrolet, belonging to Mr. Varey Smith, of Company Nine. BALL PLAYERS WANTED. Mr Ridley has beeb appointed coach for a Junior baseball team, and would like to have good players see him about getting on the team. This team will be similar to the one which Capt. Glen coached last year. CHARLTON BISONS OUTCLASS QUAKER BALL TEAM, 11-4. Thursday afternoon the I. B. S. Bisons chalked up another victory, winning their third game in four attempts, when they defeated the Quaker nine from Plainfield, by a score of 11 to 4. Southport of Indianapolis defeated Plainfield 3 to 1 Tuesday afternoon on the institution diamonds. This little boy Lease of Plainfield held the Bisons scoreless for three innings, but was taken out in the fourth, being replaced by Newby, when the Bisons collected 5 runs. Lease is rated as "a slow-ball artist." Newby pitched the fourth and fifth innings, with Lease returning to the the game in the sixth. This was really against the rules of the game but Mr Wright consented. A feature of the game was the hard-hitting of several players of both teams. In the fourth inning, Weber, of Plainfield, hit the ball over the top of Washington barracks for a home run. Justice smacked out two doubles, bouncing them off of the barracks as did Rak. Moulesong, Jackson. Curl and McCroskey also smashed out two base hits.
AMO TALENT HELPS ENTERTAIN BOYS. The program Sunday was formulated by Miss Renner and offered a wide scope of amusement. The band offered as their part of the program the "B.R. and P. Band" ,a march by George Rosenkrans. In a complete reversal of form Dr. Dill then made a few announcements, as he had business elsewhere and had to leave before the program ended. He talked about the coming trip the band makes to Frankfort to participate in the state. Miss Renner then introduced the Amo mixed chorus under the direction of Miss Hinnhouse. They gave two selections, "Praia be to God" and "Down at Home". Then the girls chorus sang "Great is thy Love". These voices blended well and the group pronounced their words distinctly which is something that very few choruses do. Robert Val Hey then gave a reading that portrayed a typical Dutch man about to make a speech, when to his consternation, he finds be has forgotten his notes. So he is forced to give an extemporaneous discourse upon any subject be can think of. Robert depicted this character and gave the desultory talk very well. James Nuckles than gave a specialty dance "Truckin". He was severely handicapped by having to do the dance without any toe taps but at times it was very plain that his feet were moving at an astonishing rate of speed. The usual Flag ceremonies ensued and the announcement made that there would be no drill. Announcement was made this week of the marriage of Miss Katherine Hamilton to Mr. Clifford Fields, on March 23. 1935, in Decatur Illinois. The Herald sent a reporter to interview Miss Hamilton last year in regard to this marriage, but Miss Hamilton proved a capable aecret-keeper, and would not verify the infermation. Mr. Fields was also quizzed at the time, but he would not O.K. a story, so The Herald had no choice but to let the story of this popular couple's marriage go un-printed, until this week we finally broke down all resistance, and Mr. and Mrs. Fields consented to the official "announcement".

It was assumed that this kite belonged to some boy in Company Eight or Nine. BASEBALL.

Two tests completed each students test, which was an English and Psychological test. Utterback's test came from Purdue University and Mathias' came from Indiana State Teachers College at Terre Haute. Miss Virginia Bronnenkant visited her parents of Terre Haute over the weekend. She returned Sunday morning with her sister, Frances, who was her guest until Monday afternoon. Mrs. B. Smoker, special edication teacher of Charlton High School, returned to work after having been absent a week, due to a slight accident. Mrs Hunt had been filling her vacancy. "AFFIANCE."
Who's the gay young troubadore, always dressed in brown, escorting the fair damsel in the blue and the gray?? Saturday morning the school was visited by Mr. H. A. Klein and quite a few Butler University students and Indianapolis residents. Mr. Klein is the former director of education of this school, being succeeded by our present director, Mr. C. Abbott. For the past week or so the different classes of Charlton have been practicing on their various phases of entertainment which they are going to present on class night, May 25. FINANCE. Three more strange cars have joined the parking lot in the last week. The first one, a 36 Plymouth, was purchased by M. Frank Bauers, gardener of the school. The second one belongs to Captain Glascock, a 32 Plymouth sedan, that looks as if it still had the pep of a lion. The third one a chevrolet, belonging to Mr. Varey Smith, of Company Nine. BALL PLAYERS WANTED. Mr Ridley has beeb appointed coach for a Junior baseball team, and would like to have good players see him about getting on the team. This team will be similar to the one which Capt. Glen coached last year. CHARLTON BISONS OUTCLASS QUAKER BALL TEAM, 11-4. Thursday afternoon the I. B. S. Bisons chalked up another victory, winning their third game in four attempts, when they defeated the Quaker nine from Plainfield, by a score of 11 to 4. Southport of Indianapolis defeated Plainfield 3 to 1 Tuesday afternoon on the institution diamonds. This little boy Lease of Plainfield held the Bisons scoreless for three innings, but was taken out in the fourth, being replaced by Newby, when the Bisons collected 5 runs. Lease is rated as "a slow-ball artist." Newby pitched the fourth and fifth innings, with Lease returning to the the game in the sixth. This was really against the rules of the game but Mr Wright consented. A feature of the game was the hard-hitting of several players of both teams. In the fourth inning, Weber, of Plainfield, hit the ball over the top of Washington barracks for a home run. Justice smacked out two doubles, bouncing them off of the barracks as did Rak. Moulesong, Jackson. Curl and McCroskey also smashed out two base hits.
AMO TALENT HELPS ENTERTAIN BOYS. The program Sunday was formulated by Miss Renner and offered a wide scope of amusement. The band offered as their part of the program the "B.R. and P. Band" ,a march by George Rosenkrans. In a complete reversal of form Dr. Dill then made a few announcements, as he had business elsewhere and had to leave before the program ended. He talked about the coming trip the band makes to Frankfort to participate in the state. Miss Renner then introduced the Amo mixed chorus under the direction of Miss Hinnhouse. They gave two selections, "Praia be to God" and "Down at Home". Then the girls chorus sang "Great is thy Love". These voices blended well and the group pronounced their words distinctly which is something that very few choruses do. Robert Val Hey then gave a reading that portrayed a typical Dutch man about to make a speech, when to his consternation, he finds be has forgotten his notes. So he is forced to give an extemporaneous discourse upon any subject be can think of. Robert depicted this character and gave the desultory talk very well. James Nuckles than gave a specialty dance "Truckin". He was severely handicapped by having to do the dance without any toe taps but at times it was very plain that his feet were moving at an astonishing rate of speed. The usual Flag ceremonies ensued and the announcement made that there would be no drill. Announcement was made this week of the marriage of Miss Katherine Hamilton to Mr. Clifford Fields, on March 23. 1935, in Decatur Illinois. The Herald sent a reporter to interview Miss Hamilton last year in regard to this marriage, but Miss Hamilton proved a capable aecret-keeper, and would not verify the infermation. Mr. Fields was also quizzed at the time, but he would not O.K. a story, so The Herald had no choice but to let the story of this popular couple's marriage go un-printed, until this week we finally broke down all resistance, and Mr. and Mrs. Fields consented to the official "announcement".
